IMPRVED SASH-TIGHTENER.

Be it known that I, JACOB D. WINSLOW, of the city of Wilmington, in theState'of Delaware, have invented a new and useful Sash-Tightener; and Ido hereby declare that the follow tion of the constrction and operationof the same, of this specification, in which- Figure 1 is a front viewof a Window with the sash-tightener attached.

Figure 2, a transverse section ot` the same.

I construct my sash-fastener of iron, 0r any 'other suitable or impingesagainst a pin or stop, as shown at ain the drawings. position Shown bysetting the pin or stop on the sash and the Wedgeshapedtightener uponthe beading. I am careful to construct the angle of 'the wedge so as notto impinge too heavily upon the stop, and so that the Window-sash mayberaised without difficultyv The tightener being in place when the sash ispushed up or down, as the case may require to close the sashes, the sashis driven close to the parting strip, thereby keeping out the air, andpreventing the window Afrom being rattled by the wind or storm.

What Iclaim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, isi The attaching to window-sashes the wedge-shaped piece a, together withthe pin or stop 6, as shown in the drawings, and herein described as a.sash-tightener, to exclude Wind and storms, and prevent the sash fromrattling.
